DynamicRange

public final class DynamicRange

A representation of the dynamic range of an image.

The dynamic range specifies an encoding for how pixels will be displayed on screen along with the number of bits used to encode each pixel. In general, the encoding represents a set of operations applied to each pixel to expand the range of light and dark pixels on a specific screen. The bit depth represents the discrete number of steps those pixels can assume between the lightest and darkest pixels.

A category of dynamic ranges called high-dynamic range (HDR) are able to encode brighter highlights, darker shadows, and richer color. This class contains constants for specific HDR dynamic ranges, such as HLG_10_BIT, but also unspecified HDR dynamic ranges, such as HDR_UNSPECIFIED_10_BIT. When used with a camera API, such as setDynamicRange, these unspecified dynamic ranges will use device defaults as the HDR encoding.

The legacy behavior of most devices is to capture in standard dynamic range (SDR), which is represented by SDR. This will be the default dynamic range encoding for most APIs taking dynamic range unless otherwise specified.
